100 days of productivity

Except I haven't been productive at all.

I did go run some errands this morning including getting groceries for the rest of the week, but I have not made much progress in any of my pending projects.

I have anxiety and I hate giving presentations so every time I have to prepare a presentation I cannot think or focus on anything else and at the same time the fear of failure and inadequacy paralyze me and what should take me at most a couple of hours can take me up to two days. And even then, I continue making changes until the last possible minute.

I've tried to work on this issue but I don't quite have the tools to do so yet. I know it's not true, but I still feel like I'm going to embarrass myself in front of everyone and I am going to show them I don't know what I'm talking about. I wanna say fake it til you make it, which I guess I end up doing anyways, but the lead up to it is painful and filled with anxiety. Anyways, wish me luck.

Day 1/100

Hopefully tomorrow will be better, fingers crossed.

Rescued this account from the confines of the internet.

A lot has happened since I was last active here. Judging by my last reblog, that was in 2018 when I was in my second year of my bachelor's degree. Fast forward five years and a whole pandemic and I'm now living in a different city and doing my master's in another university. Still struggling with procrastination and anxiety, tho.

I've been very stressed lately and I have a lot to do in the next three months but I cannot seem to focus, so I decided to attempt the 100 days of productivity.

I don't have high hopes for tomorrow (today), considering I'm writing this at 4am on a Monday morning and I still haven't gone to sleep but I'll give it a try.

header tutorial 3! 🌹

hey guys, thank you so much for 2k! here’s the third installment in my header tutorials. also check out one and two.

1. start by lettering your title. i love this header style because it only requires a highlighter and a pen, which you most likely have with you anyway for the note-taking itself. in this tutorial, i am using the zebra mildliner highlighter in vermillion. 

2. outline your title. this is rather self-explanatory. i am using a pilot g2 pen.

3. add dimension to your letters. it’s kind of hard to explain this, but i hope you can understand what i mean by the photo. basically, it’s the kind of “three dimensional” design you added to your bubble letters when you were a kid. i typically add mine on the bottom/right side, but it’s honestly up to you!!

4. outline…again. this time, make a thicker outline around the entire image, then in the spaces such as those made with e’s or a’s as shown in this tutorial. this is what really makes the header pop out against the page!

some examples of this header style:

In your meth class, while your teacher is busy explaining the correct way to shoot up, your buddy leans over with a calculator and asks you, “hey, man. Do you wanna try some math?”

[freakingtacosamigo]

I clasped my hand nervously. “Math?”

The guy in the hoody nodded. “You heard me.”

“Bro, that stuff’s deadly. Like, don’t people get seriously hooked on that?” I whispered.

The hooded man was silent. “Take it or leave it. One time offer.”

I looked at the needle hanging out of my arm. Meth didn’t seem good enough any more. I needed something more. I needed Meth…to the power of 2. Meth squared.

“Okay, hit me. What you got?”

The shady figure leaned close to me. “We’ll start nice and slow.” He slid a sheet of equations across the desk. “Find x for these bad boys.” 

My heart fluttered. I hadn’t felt like this for a long time. It wasn’t till I got to the last equation that I felt the euphoria of pure math. A quadratic equation. Two possible values for x. I felt an aura of ethereal happiness. My happiness was cut short by a huge explosion.

“There’s been a math lab explosion!” Someone screamed. 

“They must’ve divided by zero.” Muttered my math dealer. “We need to get out of here.”

[writing-prompt-s]

I laughed out loud at this!

Please read if you’re a student

You are NOT PROCRASTINATING, if - you’re sick - you have headache - you feel pain - you’re exhausted - you feel anxious - you have had big changes in your life that make you feel tired/restless/anxious/sad - you have to skip a class/take rest because of reasons I mentioned above. It’s not procrastinating. You’re not lazy. Everyone needs to have rest and take care of themselves when they’re sick. IT IS NOT OKAY TO WORK IN PAIN. Don’t burn out. It’s not worth it. Do not feel guilty. After some rest and relaxing you will study even more effectively. If you feel pain, - take a medicine if it works for you - put all of your books away - take warm shower - eat at least 1 healthy thing and 1 treat/feel-good-food, drink water - go to bed, sleep or read a book/listen to music that is not related to your school (if you have headache/migraine I suggest you to switch off the lights and just sleep) - just take your time - it’ll be all okay.

I took a break from studying to go to the National Museum! Happy spring equinox 🍃💐

[tech-studyblr]

Sorry guys

I know I'm a little bit absent. I have a lot of things to do as I'm in the middle of my midterms (in spite of being on spring break).

BUT I'm super excited because I'm planning on how to redecorate my room and create a cute but useful and productive workspace. Hopefully I'll go shopping this week.

Do you have any decoration ideas or tips? Any organization hacks?

Hope you're having a nice day!

Here are some workspaces I found on we❤️it that I really liked:

I skipped my skin routine once (1) and my face it's already a mess.

[bollodepan]

Each year I find myself with more acquaintances and less friends.

I’m isolating myself.

I'm loving these notes.

I've been having some trouble keeping up with school work and studying for my midterms so I've put together this "midterms exam plan" spread in hopes of motivating myself.

The space at the bottom is where I'll keep track of the task I need to complete for each course (one color per course) and I'll then assign deadlines in the calendar.

I also may add a tracker in the blank space in the left. I would be a tracker focused on task that may help me improve my grades and studying routine.

Supplies:

Notebook: leuchtturm1917

Crayola supertips

MUJI clip gel pen 0.5

Edding1200 n.20

Sakura pigma micron n. 03 and 1
